Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 March 2009
273 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if senior officials of his Department, including the Secretary General, will be located in a decentralised office or in Dublin. [9808/09]
View answerI am taking the term "senior officials" to refer to the Secretary General and officers in my Department at Assistant Secretary and equivalent level. The Department's headquarters will remain in Dublin, therefore the Secretary General will remain there. In relation to the rest of the Department and agencies staffed by it, there are currently two officers at Assistant Secretary level in decentralised locations. Upon completion of the decentralisation programme in respect of my Department and associated agencies, two further officers at Assistant Secretary level will be based in decentralised offices.
